“Rachel is wonderful. A true dog lover. She shows a lot of love for my dog and really knows how to read his mood. Billy loves his walks with Rachel! I think he likes her better than me actually. I love her reports about their walks.”

“Grace did an amazing job with my dog Nova! I was quite nervous leaving Nova to go overseas on vacation as I have never spent much time away from her. Nova is a high drive dog who needs an experienced handler and a lot of exercise! Upon meeting Grace and hearing of her experience I immediately felt more secure. Grace is kind and responsible with an extensive background in animal care. Nova loved her from the get go as well. Thank you Grace! Knowing that my Nova was able to get some exercise and mental stimulation with someone I felt comfortable with allowed me to really relax and enjoy my vacation experience. You will be my first choice when the next vacation opportunity arises!”

“Brittany is my wife and has been my best friend for 16+ years! She has always had dogs ever since she was a kid. The second she turned 18 she got one of her own and after we got married we got another one! Brittany is always taking the dogs on walks, dog park trips, and keeping their brains stimulated by practicing commands at least once a week! I can also attest for 3-4 of her friends that request her to watch their dogs when they’re gone. Overall, she has a huge heart and there aren’t enough animals in the world to fill it!”


Iris B.

Riley M.
“Rover, Riley Marshall used to dog sit for me when I was out of town. My Jocko had severe anxiety and needed to be given anti-anxiety meds while I was away. He could be seem aggressive at first, though when actually approached he fled and peed himself. Still, he was a good 55 pounds and that can be scary, so I gave Riley specific instructions on how to approach when she first started, which was basically to ignore him and let him come to her. This always worked and soon Riley became one of Jocko's favorite sitters. I highly recommend Riley as a pet sitter. She has the patience and kindness from which animals benefit. She is also very conscientious about being in the pet owners home. I never worried about my Jocko or my house when she was left in charge. Any pet or pet owner would be lucky to have her in their extended family.”
